...feeling better than I have in a long while.  Good thing too.  I live in a madhouse filled with teenagers.  Gotta be on top of my game.

I need a hidden (and soundproof) safe room.  With a sofa.

Teenagers are the anti-MAP.

Oh.  Very important, before the trip, to remind your wife that sex prevents sea sickness....

Ya'll have little zoologists and chemists in your homes!  That's awesome.  

....and maybe disguisting at times.  But mostly awesome. 

It does look nice and cool and relaxing!

This is new.  Been having "midlife crisis" dreams - new ones for me (I usually only have reruns of dreams I've had since I was a kid).  Had the one we here my teeth were all loose.  (Classic). The one where I am left behind and alone.  (At least it was quiet)  And the one where a certain body part fell off.  Twice.  (Seriously.  I am not making this sh$t up)

I guess it must be on my mind lately.  Not letting it get to me.

I'm gonna make this MAP item #1: Make sure everything is still attached. 

Well, the Summer of George is ending.  I'll give it a "B".  I actually checked off almost all of the boxes.  Really.  I did!  Kids did lots of fun kid stuff.  We had some good vacation time, and kept to a budget.  I have some big house/garage projects and made really good progress on those (though there is much more to be done).  Got a better handle on those health issues.  Did what I needed to do at work.  I did notice though that I am feeling my age, more so than ever before.  Feeling the stereotypical midlife stuff.  What is important to me seems to be changing.  And teenagers.  Just teenagers.  And aging parents.  Holy cow, what happened?  It goes by so fast.

So, what's next?  I suppose it would be the "Fall of George!"  But that sounds ominous....
